MELISSA ETHERIDGE to Play The Louisville Palace

Oscar® and two-time Grammy winner Melissa Etheridge is set to embark on a North American Tour in October 2012 in support of her latest studio album, “4th Street Feeling” (set for release on September 4th on Island Records). Melissa wrote twelve new songs for the album, which features Blair Sinta on drums, Brett Simons on bass, and Zac Rae on keyboards. Melissa takes the lead on vocals, piano, harmonica, banjitar and some of her most stirring lead guitar work to date.

In addition to her recording career, Melissa hosts “The Melissa Etheridge Radio Show,” syndicated through Benztown Radio Networks. In late 2011, Melissa was honored with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame and this fall, will be honored by the National Women’s Museum of Art in Washington DC with her inclusion in the exhibition, “Women Who Rock: Vision, Passion, Power.”
